Problem Solution: Harrison-Keyes Inc.
Harrison-Keyes is a publishing company that under the direction of Meg McGill has made the decision to change its format of delivery to digital materials as well as paper print. The obstacles that will challenge this move will need to be addressed as the company moves forward with the strategic plan to change it's formatting of delivery.
In the midst of the implementation phase the company begins to realize that the planning stages of the project may be falling short of the actual steps necessary to complete the project. Their poor planning and inability to foresee the many obstacles that they are now facing as the plan unfolds is placing the delivery timeline and many other aspects of the project in jeopardy of failing. Technology advancements will need to be reconsidered with the improvements to all the hardware and software components to handle the extra load that this format will require as well as better communication with the contractual company handling the digitizing of the material.
The underestimated need for a more thorough planning phase has now left the company with many gaps on the implementation process and will require the staff to reevaluate the timeline that has put in place for completion of the project. Technology and communication will be the critical pieces to the project moving forward.
